Hello! I'm currently downloading the ISO image. I'm planning to boot it on Virtual Machine. It's my first time using a Linux OS.
Please explain me why it's really great. What's bad about. And other cool stuff you can do with it.
- New Linux user.

| Get Linux Mint. It's basically the same thing as Ubuntu but the desktop interface is more similar to Windows |

after you get comfy with linux grab arch linux it's only a smallish install with the kernel and CLI but you build it from the ground up after install with custom x window managers and stuff super fast too since the bloat is non existant

Thanks for the replies. Not I'm running it on a CD. The noise is really, REALLY unbearable. Now it asks me to "Try Unbuntu" or "Install Unbuntu". I guess Install wipes my harddrive. Does it wipes my virtual, partitioned harddrive? Or my actual one?

| Make sure you install it on your partition. Otherwise you will wipe out Windows... |

Thanks! I can't do this without you guys, I never used a VM(One time, I VM Windows 8.1 and it doesn't let me, I need a stupid product code!).

After you try ubuntu try windows 2000
They have a lot in common!
I tried ubuntu on a virtual machine once, couldn't enjoy it because it lags a lot on my computer.
Besides the terminal i can't find anything else good with it

Finally, the stupid noise stopped. It's a relief!
I'm just exploring the settings.
What I'm really excited for, is the thing that you can simulate a MITM attack on your own network. And also running servers on it. Window's IIS isn't really that great.

i like the way iis is plug and play as far as code and things like users and roles authentication, but being win only is a pain it'd be nice if it was ported over |

I'm running it on VMWare. I can still play ROBLOX if I want to.
The UI is really love. It's simple, elegant, and mostly, the colours.
Where the heck is the commandline on this thing?

| Linux Ubuntu and OS X suck. Get Windows. Ubuntu can't play Roblox so you will regret that. I advise you to get a better OS like Windows 8.1. |

it's quite slow, I'll probably need to bump up the Video RAM on this thing. Or the priority.

@ShippyCar3. Okay, stop the hate mate. Linux is actually not that bad. Playing ROLBOX isn't my priority. It's the forum.(Mostly the creating games too!) If you hate it, then don't post.
